Looks like Rossi is in great form this year...maybe he's got a chip on his shoulder or the competition has lead to him really raising the bar.

Loris and the Suzuki look to be back to their normal "fast in pre-season (or at least at Sepang)" form, but wouldn't bet on 'em being at the front once the flag drops (unfortunately).

Spies looks to be poised as "best of the rest" and I'm really not counting him out as a podium contender this year. (fingers crossed)

I'm really rooting for Melandri to be on the pace this year after a couple of difficult seasons...but his teammate sure seems to be having troubles making the switch to the premier class. (no more tips from Vale! :lol:)

Tweet from Spies:

BenSpies11 "Not a bad day.....made more progress and still feel there is more to come. baby steps"....

Can't wait to see how he goes at Qatar on the M1 where he won't have to try and learn the track before starting work on set-up...

i got an email from Yamaha this morning that stated Rossi SMASHED the Sepang track record. I deleted the email or i'd post it up here. Sounds like some good times for Yami for this circuit this year. :up: :rocker:

I'l bet good money Spies WILL be on the podium within the first five races. Damn well guarantee it. His times on testing almost always tend to be down on actual race times when he's truly out mixing it up. Going to be interesting to see. I would LOVE to see him battle it out with Rossi.

And what the hell happened with Nicky? Did someone light a fire under his ass? Man it would be cool to see three American's do good this year.

this year could be one of the better seasons....

Rossi is looking to destroy Lorenzo
Nicky is despartely trying to beat stoner.
Spies wants to show all of them he's in the top 3...
and nobody cares about the midget...
